Full textAbstract:
From Solider of the Infantry to Soldier of the Fork: that's how Lieutenant-Colonel Nathaniel Newnham-Davis described himself to Britons who liked a good dinner, but who nonetheless struggled in “the spider web of a carte de jour.” His 1899 restaurant guide, Dinners and Diners: Where and How to Dine in London, was so successful that he updated it in 1901. By 1914, when Davis published Gourmet's Guide to London, he had launched a restaurant revolution. Unlike gastronomes before him, Davis systematically demystified the protocol of restaurant dining for hundreds of middle-class people who had been too intimidated to step inside one of them or to visit locales where less-expensive restaurant meals were available. Newnham-Davis recognized that his target audience—“the Respectable Classes,” as he referred to them—had little experience with the notion of eating for pleasure or leaving the security of home to venture out to a restaurant. Understanding their inhibitions, Newnham-Davis created a guidebook genre that offered a great deal more than the bare facts and lists that characterized typical guidebooks of the era, such as Baedeker's London and Its Environs.

Full textAbstract:
This article is devoted to the role of the first Ural travel guides in the general process of the formation of geo-cultural image of the Urals. The author refers to guidebooks from between 1899 and 1904 prepared by the famous Ural journalist V. A. Vesnovsky, which became the first attempt at a holistic description of the region addressed to the general reader. The article focuses on the techniques of space narrativisation, which are actively used by guidebooks, unlike reference books. Narrativisation is seen in its functional aspect: as a way to engage the audience through an emotionally told story. J. Bruner’s idea of the dual landscape of narrative: the landscape of action and the landscape of consciousness is used as the main methodological approach. The analysis reveals the main subject areas of narrativisation in guidebooks, as well as the psychological effects of the stories presented. It is revealed that the narrativisation of space occurs at different levels of the guide: at the level of macrostructure, it is implemented in the travel route, while at the level of content — in the description of attractions, which are the basis of any guide. The discursive narrative methods are methods of the emotional engagement of the reader: reportage description inviting to joint observation and dynamic panoramic vision borrowed from travel essays; an appeal to the reader’s personal experience, as well as dramatisation of the narrative associated with a focus on the characters who act and feel. In the long run, it is concluded that the first Ural travel guides were actively involved in the processes of combining the geo-cultural values of Ural space, proposing subjects for its holistic reading and a variety of involving narratives dedicated to individual locations.

Full textAbstract:
Along with Appleton and Rand McNally, George A. Crofutt helped to establish and popularize the genre of the general traveller's guidebook in the United States. From 1869 to 1884, Crofutt would sell millions of his guides to the American West, which he distinguished from the competition by including copious illustrations. Although the guidebooks claim to arrange and order the West for easy, and almost passive, consumption – to “tell you what is worth seeing” – this article argues that there are two different yet also complimentary modes of representation operating in these popular works. While the images express a “panoramic” mode of vision, evoking the mythology of the endless frontier and a divinely inspired manifest destiny, the text exemplifies a “telegraphic” language based on instantaneity, fragmentation, and velocity – the thrilling, and disorienting, compression of time and space made possible by the railroad and the telegraph. Crofutt's railroad guidebooks mark a double transition: a historical shift in the concept of the West as a limitless, undefined frontier to a region of commerce and culture, and a corresponding aesthetic shift from a mode of representation based upon mythic expansiveness to one that mimics discrete aspects of modernity.

Lamoureux, François. "“The Most Distinctively Canadian City” Representations of the City in Montreal Guidebooks, 1876–1892." Urban History Review 51, no. 1 (June 1, 2023): 23–43. http://dx.doi.org/10.3138/uhr-2022-0019.
Full textAbstract:
This article explores three guidebooks written in Montreal between 1876 and 1892. They are all similarly constructed and were subsequently reprinted, the latter testifying of their relative success. Most importantly, they allow a glimpse into the ways in which Anglo Montrealers wished their city to be perceived around the world. As such, I argue that they illustrated understandings of history, of urbanization, of the Dominion, and of Montreal that were characteristic of post-Confederation industrial Canadian elites. Following the lines of the framework of identity construction in a settler-colonial setting, I look at these guides as a window into the perceptions and expectations of this “adolescent” Canadian collectivity. Furthermore, I demonstrate that these guidebook writers wished to imbue the materiality of the city with historical significance. In doing so, they instilled a sense of progress and modernity to the landscape, while symbolically laying claim to distinct urban places. In fact, these guidebooks also enlighten us on the means we use to provide a sense of self, whether individual or collective, to the city. Borrowing from historical geography theorist Brian Osborne, this paper shows how the Canadianness that these booklets promoted relied on interconnections based on social mores, values, and ideas. Places are also conceptualized as the repository for meta-narratives of the nation. By situating these subplots in space, they cultivate an awareness—an “a-where-ness”—of the collective identity. Indeed, the narrative poetics of the guidebooks were grounded in a place whose inhabitants and visitors dove into the story mid-stream, providing social continuity.

Journal of Asian Social Science Research 2, no. 2 (December 27, 2020): 191–218. http://dx.doi.org/10.15575/jassr.v2i2.21.
Full textAbstract:
This article examines how the Dutch colonial government in the Netherland East Indies attempted to civilize its colony through the work on etiquette. It focuses its analysis on the Malay manuscript of Haji Hasan Mustapa on the code of polite behavior for Acehnese in dealing with the Dutch people, Kehormatan kepada Orang Belanda (Cod. Or. 18.097 S9). Hasan Mustapa wrote his work when he served as Chief-Penghulu of Kutaraja, Aceh (1893-1895) and sent it to C. Snouck Hurgronje in Batavia. He wrote the book at the request of Teuku Umar, an Acehnese patriot who used to collaborate with the Dutch authorities. Using a philological analysis, this study suggests that the Dutch authority utilized the native officials to write the etiquette guidebook on speaking and behavior to civilize Acehnese people. Hasan Mustapa’s work on etiquette shows that he played an important role in maintaining the Dutch honor and bridging the interests of the Dutch colonial government in its colony, the Netherland East Indies.

Full textAbstract:
Even though Charlotte Perkins Gilman's story ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’ (1892) has received a lot of critical attention, there have been only a few attempts at the visual analysis of the wallpaper. This article approaches it as a case of the intricate pattern – an optically unpleasant and complicated ornament that can be depicted. This motif is present in gothic narratives (Poe's ‘Ligeia’, 1838), films (Robert Wise's The Haunting, 1963) as well as outside the genre. With a connection to wallpapers, it was discussed publicly during Gilman's time. This article reconstructs this discussion with examples from the contemporary interior decoration manuals, guidebooks for nursing and medical literature. The aim is to contextualize Gilman's story and to analyse the ways in which her descriptions of the wallpaper are similar to the rhetoric of the guidebooks. This context can enrich our knowledge about the period, reception of the story and possibly even about Gilman's sources of inspiration.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Under French colonization, large colonial cities inevitably became tourist destinations. Colonial guidebooks recommended them for their botanical gardens, their theaters, and their “native quarters” They were used as showcases for French Overseas Territories, but we may wonder if they really had a tourist function and if they became tourist metropolises. What part did they play, and what influence did they have on the tourist sector of a colony? This is what this article seeks to examine by conducting a case study of Saigon between 1898 and 1939. Besides evaluating the tourist function of Saigon, this study proposes ways of analyzing the relationship between colonizers and colonized in terms of tourism, using French and even European tourists as an indicator of this relationship.

Full textAbstract:
The study gives a new outlook on the activities of the first Tyumen printing house, which was founded by K. N. Vysotsky in 1869 and existed until 1909. The scientific novelty of the research is due to the following: 1) book publishing is considered as part of the media revolution carried out by K. N. Vysotsky thanks to the opening of the first photography studio (1866), lithography studio (1867), printing house (1869), and a newspaper publishing news and advertisements (1879) in a provincial Siberian town; 2) publishing activities of K. N. Vysotsky and L. K. Vysotskaya are linked with the history of Siberian steam navigation in the 1870–1890s. The purpose of the article is to characterize Russian dorozhniki - itinerary books as a special type of publications in the Vysotskys’ printing house, to identify their diversity and role in the activities of steamship companies, in particular the Kurbatov and Ignatov Partnership. A bibliological analysis based on the structural-typological method within the context and system approaches allows a new interpretation of the role and place of the Vysotskys’ printing house in the history of Siberian book culture. The author comes to the conclusions that about 20% of the repertoire (11 of 56 books) of the Vysotskys’ printing house are books about steamboats and rivers. They represent a semantic unity, a unique series structured by space (more than 3000 km along West Siberian rivers from Tyumen to Tomsk) and the idea of industrialization and cultural development of new lands. The structural dominance of the series belongs to a special publication type: dorozhnik (an itinerary book), the purpose of which was to indicate the distance between settlements and to serve as a travel guide on Siberian rivers. Publication of such books, which are known to exist since the ancient Rome, testifies to the high print culture of the Vysotskys publishers. These books are very diverse: brief guidebooks coexisted with lithographic cartographic editions and advertising catalogs in the genre of history writing and ethnographic travel essays. The significance of the itinerary books published by the Vysotskys lies in the cultural brand they formed for Tyumen as a town and the birthplace of all navigation along West Siberian rivers.

Full textAbstract:
<p align="LEFT">The development of tourism is a significant aspect of the processes of modernity in the High Arctic. This article discusses the British art historian and mountaineer Sir William Martin Conway's two travelogues, <em><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT;">The First Crossing of Spitsbergen </span></em><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">(1897) </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">and </span><em><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT;">With Ski and Sledge over Arctic Glaciers </span></em><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">(1898)</span>, in terms of a pioneering tourist approach to the archipelago of Svalbard. Unlike earlier yachting tourists, Conway described a journey into the uncharted interior of the main island, Spitsbergen. His books are therefore narrated as exploration accounts and following many of the demands of that genre, such as an emphasis on mapping, natural science and being the first. However, they may also be read as guidebooks for other discerning and undaunted British gentleman travellers. Inspired by the art critic John Ruskin’s “science of aspects”, which combined accurate scientific observations and practical knowledge with an imaginative and aesthetic response to the landscape, Conway attempts to give his readers a positive sense of the qualities of the Arctic. At the same time, he promotes Svalbard as an Arctic “Playground of Europe”, where adventurous Alpinists in addition to climbing unknown mountains and glaciers could find fraternal domesticity far away from home around the hearth of the campfire. In this way Conway locates natural beauty, life and recreational opportunities where travellers before him had only described desolation and death.</p>

Previous issue date: 2005-03-14This dissertation is based on the History of the Linguistics Ideas. The way the Old Republic had absorbed the national culture as well as differences in Portuguese Language in Brazil has been studied in this work. To do so, the Pedro II School s Teaching Programs ( Programas de Ensino do Colégio de Pedro II ), the National Anthology ( Antologia Nacional ) , written by Fausto Barreto and Carlos de Laet, the History of Brazilian Literature ( História da Literatura Brasileira ) from Sílvio Romero, and the Portuguese Grammar ( Gramática Portuguesa ) written by Júlio Ribeiro have had to be analyzed within it. In this matter the changes in the teaching of Portuguese Language and reading as well as its difficulties and connection with national culture might become known and interpreted. The starting point is the work basis of the History of the Linguistics Ideas, and a panorama of politics, economics, society, intellectuality, and culture in Brazil. The aim has been to know the Brazilian society at that time as a whole, and furthermore, comprehend the nature of the decisions made at the Ginásio Nacional ex- Pedro II School s in the teaching of Portuguese Language. Moreover, the three above mentioned works were analyzed and their authors roles in the teaching and in the national culture cleared up along with the choices presented in each compendium related to the themes and authors National Anthology and History of Brazilian Literature. The connection between these compendiums about a supposed build-up of a Brazilian culture belonging is presented after having identified their writers attitudes towards the language changes in phonetics, morphology, and syntax. At last, the teaching in Portuguese is related to the heritages of the Old Republic.
Esta dissertação fundamentada na História das Idéias Lingüísticas estuda como a cultura nacional e as diferenças da Língua Portuguesa no Brasil foram absorvidas pela escola brasileira da República Velha. Para fazê-lo analisa os Programas de Ensino do Colégio de Pedro II, a Antologia Nacional de Fausto Barreto e Carlos de Laet, a História da Literatura Brasileira de Sílvio Romero e a Gramática Portuguesa de Júlio Ribeiro, a fim de conhecer e interpretar os caminhos seguidos pelo ensino de Língua Portuguesa e de leitura, suas dificuldades e seu relacionamento com a cultura brasileira. O trabalho principia com o embasamento teórico proporcionado pela História das Idéias Lingüísticas, seguido por um panorama político, econômico, social, intelectual e cultural do Brasil, visando conhecer a sociedade brasileira do período como um todo e, assim, compreender o porquê das resoluções tomadas no ensino de Língua Portuguesa no Ginásio Nacional ex-Colégio de Pedro II. Continua com a análise das três obras pesquisadas, esclarecendo o papel de seus autores no ensino e na cultura nacional e, também, as escolhas feitas por cada compêndio quanto aos temas, aos escritores Antologia Nacional e História da Literatura Brasileira e à posição a respeito do Português do Brasil. Nas análises, ao identificar as posições de Fausto Barreto, Carlos de Laet, Sílvio Romero e Júlio Ribeiro relacionadas às modificações fonéticas, morfológicas e sintáticas da língua, estabelece o envolvimento dos compêndios na concretização do que pertenceria à cultura brasileira e, finalizando, associa o ensino de Língua Portuguesa hodierno às heranças oriundas da República Velha.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAs Christopher Hilliard has noted, the 1890s and 1900s saw in Britain the development of a flourishing “literary advice industry” of which the “first goods were guidebooks” (Hilliard in To Exercise Our Talents: The Democratization of Writing in Britain. Harvard University Press, London and Cambridge, MA, 2006, p. 20). Examples include Arnold Bennett’s How to Become an Author (1903), Walter Besant’s The Pen and the Book (1899), E. H. Lacon Watson’s Hints to Young Authors (1902), and Leopold Wagner’s How to Publish a Book (1898). As this chapter will explore, these authors’ guides mix technical advice on the rules of fiction with practical advice on the workings of the publishing industry and the financial side of authorship—and in so doing, I shall argue, both reflect and help contribute to dramatic changes in public understandings of the nature of authorship and the relationship between the writer and marketplace.

Full textAbstract:
The third chapter examines the specific technology most commonly associated with the New Woman: the safety bicycle. When the safety bicycle first came into widespread use in the late 1880s it became connected with the New Woman and her ‘unsexing’ potential, with the loosening of social restrictions and with geographic mobility. Engaging first with medical as well as public debates around the perceived physical and social effects of the bicycle, along with guidebooks for female cyclists, the chapter moves on to consider how the bicycle through literature becomes a symbol of emancipation. Reading H. G. Wells Wheels of Chance (1897) and Grant Allen’s Miss Cayley’s Adventures (1899), the chapter complicates the notion of the bicycle as a democratising ‘freedom machine’, by insisting on the class specifics of the New Woman and the commercialism of the late-Victorian literary market.

Full textAbstract:
The paper proposes to consider the “eastern” texts of Bunin as a single text and to trace the metamorphosis of poetics from the topos of Middle East to the Buddhist topos. To solve this problem, Bunin’s texts are examined in the historical context of the life and works of the writer. In 1899, Bunin had a “cherished dream” — to travel by sea to the shores of the Pacific Ocean (to Japan). The route from Odessa to Vladivostok becomes the main one against the background of all the “eastern” travels of the writer. Such a route was presented in the contemporary guidebooks of the “Dobrovol’nyi flot” (“Volunteer Fleet”) and the “Russkoe Obshchestvo Parokhodstva i Torgovli” (“Russian Society of Shipping and Trade”). Those guidebooks are considered as sources of the book “Hram Solntsa” (“The Temple of the Sun”), which is confirmed by a comparative analysis of the texts. In addition, the author analyzes historical works about the East known to Bunin (Maspero, Olesnitsky) and modern travelogues (Kondurushkin, Loti, Fedorov). These works are also considered the sources of the book “Hram Solntsa” (“The Temple of the Sun”). In 1911 both biographically and artistically, Bunin moves further to the East — to Ceylon. The article analyzes the essays from the book “Hram Solntsa” (“The Temple of the Sun”), as well as from the “Gorod Tsaria Tsarei” (“The City of the King of Kings”), which was included in the book in 1931. “Gorod Tsaria Tsarei” (“The City of the King of Kings”) seems to us a linking work to open a new, eastern stage of Bunin’s work. However, the project for the exploration of the East at all levels, biographical and creative, was not implemented. Bunin never made it to Japan, and an oriental novel was never written.

Abstract VEGF purified from conditioned media of normal and neoplastic cells is a glycoprotein of -45000 kDa (Ferrara and Henzel 1989). It is inactivated by reducing agents but it is heat- and acid-stable. By alternative splicing of RNA, VEGF may exist in four different homodimeric isoforms (Leung et al. 1989; Houck et al. 1991; Tisher et al. 1991). Following signal sequence cleavage, human VEGF monomers are expected to have 121, 165, 189, and 206 amino acids, respectively (VEGF121, VEGF165, VEGF189, VEGF206). Rodent or bovine VEGF monomers are shorter by one amino acid.

The structure consists of two domains, a thioredoxin domain, a helical domain (Fig. 1a). Although the classical thioredoxin fold incorporates a four-stranded β sheet flanked by three helices (Martin, 1995), the thioredoxin domain of DsbA (comprising residues 1-61, 140-189) has an additional N-terminal str,that extends the central β sheet to five strands.

Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences; Nestor-Istoriia, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.31168/4469-1767-9.04.
Full textAbstract:
The essay focuses on the book Montenegro, Bosnia, Herzegovina by two young French reporters Henry Avelot (1873-1935) and Joseph de la Neziere (1873-1944). The way the book came into being and its future literary life speak of the lively interest shown by French society to Slavic lands in the Balkans. H. Avelot is known as children's book author, comic writer, cartoonist, and illustrator. He collaborated with such publications as Le Rire and La Vie Parisienne. In 1893 he travelled to the Balkans with his friend, the artist J. de la Neziere, a passionate traveller, who preferred Oriental subjects for his works. In the Southern Slavic lands, they were interested in the Oriental reality of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the traditional life of the locals, and the combination of patriarchal culture with the latest Western influences. The main target of their voyage was the Princedom of Montenegro, and their book is dedicated to Prince Nicholas I, the ruler of the country. The book gives a clear idea of the personalities of the authors. These are young people; curious, witty, and ironic. They look at the world in front of their eyes with awe and joy. The text is a collection of witty and ironic essays, and the illustrations are sketches created by true researchers. The images are accurate, de-tailed, and diverse. Bearing the imprint of its authors' personalities, the book is as detailed as modern travel guidebooks. The book Montenegro, Bosnia, Herzegovina was created with passion and contains 204 original illustrations. Being both writ-ers and artists, the authors perceive and recreate the landscapes around them so accurately and colourfully that the readers can literally see these lands together with the travellers themselves. The authors make sure they describe every town, village, and island they encountered, making detailed ethnographic sketches.

Full textAbstract:
On June 5, 2007, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) issued joint guidance (herein the Rapanos Guidance) interpreting the U.S. Supreme Court’s divided Rapanos v. United States decision on the geographic extent of regulatory jurisdiction under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The technical document, “Jurisdictional Determination Form Instructional Guidebook” uses ambiguous language regarding implementation of the guidance manual. Pursuant to the Rapanos guidance, traditionally navigable waters (TNW), relatively permanent tributaries to these waters, and wetlands directly abutting such tributaries are “categorically” jurisdictional, while non-navigable tributaries that are not relatively permanent, wetlands adjacent to such tributaries, and wetlands that are adjacent to but do not directly abut a relatively permanent non-navigable tributary, are jurisdictional only if they have a “significant nexus” to a TNW. A critical issue for permit applications is whether the proposed activity will be subject to a categorical assertion of regulatory jurisdiction, or to a more involved “significant nexus analysis.” The scientific and environmental analyses of permit applications encountering a significant nexus analysis is designed to undergo additional review by the EPA. At the present time, the Guidance is deficient in providing definitive instruction for determining whether a significant nexus is present between a non-navigable tributary with non-permanent flow and a TNW. Our project allowed implementation of the Guidance and involved the installation of 264 miles of pipeline and permit negotiation with three separate Corps districts. Assessment of 483 streams and 189 wetlands was performed using the newly developed Jurisdictional Determination Forms. An interdisciplinary team approach was developed by integrating the knowledge bases of geographers and ecologists. Databases and maps were developed to allow collective assessment of potential waters of the U.S. within the context of the Rapanos ruling. Because of the Guidance’s ambiguity, it was necessary to develop a defensible approach with detailed concepts and terms to adequately implement the Jurisdictional Determination process to the satisfaction of regulators responsible for the implementation of the jurisdictional determination guidance manual.

Full textAbstract:
The coordination of transportation and land use (also known as “smart growth”) has been a long-standing goal for planning and engineering professionals, but to this day it remains an elusive concept to realize. Leaving us with this central question -- how can we best achieve transportation and land use coordination at the corridor level? In response, this report provides a review of literature and practice related to sustainability, livability, and equity (SLE) with a focus on corridor-level planning. Using Caltrans’ Corridor Planning Process Guide and Smart Mobility Framework as guideposts, this report also reviews various principles, performance measures, and place typology frameworks, along with current mapping and planning support tools (PSTs). The aim being to serve as a guidebook that agency staff can use for reference, synergizing planning insights from various data sources that had not previously been brought together in a practical frame. With this knowledge and understanding, a key section provides a discussion of tools and metrics and how they can be used in corridor planning. For illustration purposes, this report uses the Smart Mobility Calculator (https://smartmobilitycalculator. netlify.app/), a novel online tool designed to make key data easily available for all stakeholders to make better decisions. For more information on this tool, see https://transweb.sjsu.edu/research/1899-Smart-Growth-Equity-Framework-Tool. The Smart Mobility Calculator is unique in that it incorporates statewide datasets on urban quality and livability which are then communicated through a straightforward visualization planners can readily use. Core sections of this report cover the framework and concepts upon which the Smart Mobility Calculator is built and provides examples of its functionality and implementation capabilities. The Calculator is designed to complement policies to help a variety of agencies (MPOs, DOTs, and local land use authorities) achieve coordination and balance between transportation and land use at the corridor level.
